The lease starts February 1st. I lay awake at night thinking of the opportunities this gives me. I can't wait to get in and do some clearing and planting, but I am going to have to reign in the spending for a little bit. For now I am going to move the cows over there to let my land...

What are the goals you have for your ranch this new year? I have so many things I want to do, but my goals are this: 1. get fully stocked. Buy 9 bred cows and 7 Boer goat does. 2. Keep better detailed logs on feed expenses and animals logs. I started this already, but I want a full year to...

I use a pierce cattle siren. The first cows I bought were already used to a siren. It works great. I had a couple cows get into the road when I wasn't home one day. A friend found them and was able to walk them straight down the road into my gate with his siren. He called me and said, 'you...

I have been working on building this little ranch up from nothing for the last few years. Chasing that dream I have had since I was a little boy., to be a rancher. In the last 2 months I have secured a grazing lease with my neighbor, been approved for a small livestock loan to buy 10 bred...

I am resurfacing! Am I the only one who finds November and December to be crazy busy. Between deer hunting my place and a deer lease 5 hours from home, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and maintaining the ranch 2 hours from home I am on the go all the time.

sorry for the long delay in replying. I have a one room bunkhouse 'barndominium.' I had the outside buildt and my dad and I finished it out. It actually came out way better than I expected. A single person could live in it comfortably. Are these older units moveable? Could they make...

My neighbor agreed to lease me his 180 acres starting in February. It’s a game changer for me. I am very excited. Hope to purchase another 8 or 9 head. Move them all on his place to give my grass a chance to recover and plant a couple fields.

The mesquites I’m clearing aren’t really quite big enough for smoking. At least for now. I have 6 cows on 140 acres. I could hold a few more if we could ever get rain.

That's what I was assuming. I am going to put some thought into before spring and electric fence an area. I am talking to my neighbor about leasing his land. Maybe I can move them all over there and plant a few areas.

I am lucky enough to have a guy checking his oil well every day. He has been a God send for me. Keeps an eye on things for me. Knows everybody. Good advice.

I have a place with lots of mesquites. I am working on thinning out a bunch of the small ones. I have a few areas that aren’t huge, but I would love to make better grazing. I have a disc, spreader, and drag. My question is there any chance I can get decent enough growth without keeping cows...

My dads having the same problems. He is switching away from SPYPOINT also.

Funny thing is the neighborhood I live in has a little runway and several guys have planes. One neighbor flies to his place in Oklahoma to check cows.

appreciate the suggestion. I added my location. Still working on getting my profile setup.

I had spypoint, but have switched all of mine to tactacam reveal X Pro's. I really like them. Adding solar panels to them now.

My dad grew up picking cotton in west Alabama, close to MS. I spent a lot of summers there. It is very hard to leave the cattle. It is becoming even harder as the operation grows. I am lucky to have a couple people around that keeps their eyes open for me. But it is hard.

you're correct on cell cams! I have several. I have goats in a pastures that require water troughs. I have cameras on those so I can always know they have water. my drive is pretty easy. No traffic, nice views. I can drop the kids off at school on my way out of town and work until 5 and be...

Howdy, This is going to be way to long of an introduction, but I thought there may be more guys like me out there. Trying to raise cattle remotely. New member from Graham Texas. My entire life my dream has been to be a cattle rancher, but that isn't the direction life led me. I am 47 years...
